I’ve just purchased Curt’s “Pull Up A Chair”, a fascinating look at the amazing Vin Scully who started with the Dodgers the year I was born, 1950. Incredible!

As a radio history and baseball fan I can’t wait to buy this book too. I’ve been a Mets fan since 1965 but my biggest thrill was corresponding with and meeting the amazing Bob Murphy. I still miss him.
